Biden jokes he's going to 'run for county council' in 2016

CHICAGO — Vice President Joe Biden made one final campaign stop in Ohio on his way here Tuesday, at a Greek diner in Cleveland, Ohio.

As Biden made his way through the restaurant, he encouraged customers to vote and engaged in some small talk about his future political plans.

"I'm going to ask you one question, Mr. Biden. After Obama wins this election, are you going to run?" one woman asked him.

"Oh, I'm going to go back home and run for county council or something," he responded.

Earlier in the day, after voting in Delaware, Biden was asked if he'd just cast his last vote for himself. "No, I don't think so," he said.

Asked by the small pool of reporters traveling with him if he had a message to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan — whose planes were also on the tarmac in Cleveland as Air Force Two landed — Biden didn't have much to say. "When we landed they said they were there. That's good," he said.

Later on, the daughter of the restaurant's owner thanked him for visiting. Her mother, a Greek immigrant, has owned it for 22 years and is living the American dream, she said.

Biden spoke to the mother, dropping Paul Sarbanes's name and saying he had just visited Greece. In September, during a visit to another Greek diner, Biden joked that he was a Greek Irishman and could go by the name "Joe Bidenopoulos."
